“That’s the down-town frieze,
Principally the church steeple,
A black line beside a white line;
And the stack of the electric plant,
A black line drawn on flat air.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“This is something that I cannot get over—that a whole line could be written by half a man, that a work could be built on the quicksand of a character.”
